Change isn't so bad

A lot has changed since I last had a post. It is finally 2012, at the time of this post the year is at least four months old. that's how long it has been since I came back to this page where I express my thoughts and feelings.
The most important lesson I have learnt in the past few months is, . I have been in a relationship and I have been learning new great things about the world. My Dad prepared me well but obviously not well enough. I guess his job ended the moment I got to university. It has been a time of formation of core values; what i believe in, my convictions about the world and making great friends with people like Babu the Drunkard and Paul the smoker who happens to be my girlfriends best friend at the moment.

My parents must have had a perfect plan laid out for me before i packed my bags three years ago. but i guess they too are shocked at how much I have changed as a person, In a positive way and also in a questionable way, depending on how you look at it.

I'm in Love. something i thought i would never say especially not here. when i read my last post , i certainly see a difference in myself. I have a new passion now that does not involve pissing off someone. life is different.

I'm realizing Uganda is one ideal village. where Bad Blacks appearance in court is news worthy and people seem to still care about tribes and heritage.

a final word about University, it has been great. the highs and the lows, all the way. I'm going to miss walking to the sausage stand at midnight for a snack. I'm looking ahead, i guess change is not bad. I can not wait to write the next chapter of my life. And as always ill keep you posted here, on awalktothekiosk. I named it so because its the easiest way to describe the African experience.
